Back in the day, when I purchased my first home to live-in; that was Miami in the early 1990s, first mortgages with rates of 8 to 9% and 9% to 10% were typical. People will have to accept the possibility that we won't ever return to 3%. If sellers must sell, home prices will have to decline, and lower evaluations will follow. Pretty sure I'm not alone in my chain of thoughts.

If anything, it'll get worse. Very soon, affordable housing will no longer be affordable. So anything anyone want to do, I will advise they do it now because the prices today will look like dips tomorrow. Until the Fed clamps down even further, I think we're going to see hysteria due to rampant inflation. You can't halfway rip the band-aid off.

Home prices will come down eventually, but for now; get your money (as much as you can) out of the housing market and get into the financial markets or gold. The new mortgage rates are crazy, add to that the recession and the fact that mortgage guidelines are getting more difficult. Home prices will need to fall by a minimum of 40% (more like 50%) before the market normalizes.If you are in cross roads or need sincere advise on the best moves to take now its best you seek an independent advisor who knows about the financial markets.

There are advisors in cities around you but I needed services of one who can guide me irrespective of location. Catherine Morrison Evans comes highly recommended especially in times like this. I am hedging and haven't lost much to the recession. I found her in 2020 when the market was at an all time low. Look her up and thank me later.

Thank you for sharing! This is the first forgivable grant I've now come across. Seems like my state really only offers DPA loans. :(

You can use this on up to a 2-unit property as long as you make it your primary residence! So if you wanted to buy a duplex and plan on living in one unit, that works!

on a first time buyer program do you have to pay on the second mortgage once you pay off the first mortgage

What’s the name of the DPA program?

Can you rent the other side of the duplex with a usda fha??

That’s great that you don’t have to pay it back. You receive 2% or 3.5% of your purchase price In assistance is definitely great. And you only have to meet one requirement to qualify.

That is correct. Since this down payment assistance is used with an FHA loan, PMI would be on for the life of the loan until you refinance into something else.

I talked to a lender today that specializes in fha and renovation loans and they do not allow combining with the empower down payment assistance program. How do I find a lender who will do this? My internet search hasn't yielded any leads.

Can this be combined with the CalHFA forgivable loan program?

If we apply and try for a USDA or FHA with just his income. 32,000 before taxes, then i start working somewhere after, does that affect the loan going through, or should i apply for a job first before the loan, but then we may not get qualified for usda?

In most cases, you can apply either together or individually. However the loan & down payment assistance applications would need to match. Ex - if one person applies, than that one person is the only one on the loan and down payment assistance. If you apply together, you would both need to meet the requirements for the loan and assistance

A typical refinance can be costly, but with this program, you are eligible for a streamline refinance which is different. With the streamline refinance, there are less documents involved, no appraisal and it’s much cheaper!

Hi Rick! You are right, this video does only discuss one specific down payment assistance program. That is why it is titled, "New Down Payment Assistance (singular) for First Time Home Buyers." If you are looking for a video on a variety of programs, I suggest checking out my video, "7 First Time Home Buyer Grants For 2023" or the playlist I have covering Down Payment Assistance Programs! At approximately the 0:07s mark, I state that this assistance does not have to be paid back. If you made it to 1:29, you would hear me talk about the "catch" as you refer to it which is a higher interest rate. To which I also mention that this program would allow you to streamline refinance in 6 months! I hope that clears up any confusion! Have a great day 😊
